First measeurements in search for keV-sterile neutrino in tritium beta-decay by Troitsk nu-mass experiment
J. N. Abdurashitov, A. I. Belesev, V. G. Chernov +11
We present the first measurements of tritium beta-decay spectrum in the electron energy range 16-18.6 keV. The goal is to find distortions which may correspond to the presence of a…
Fast Neutron Detection with 6Li-loaded Liquid Scintillator
B. M. Fisher, J. N. Abdurashitov, K. J. Coakley +7
We report on the development of a fast neutron detector using a liquid scintillator doped with enriched Li-6. The lithium was introduced in the form of an aqueous LiCl micro-emulsi…
Measurement of Neutron Background at the Pyhasalmi mine for CUPP Project, Finland
J. N. Abdurashitov, V. N. Gavrin, V. L. Matushko +4
A natural neutron flux is one of significant kind of background in high-sensitive underground experiments. Therefore, when scheduling a delicate underground measurements one needs…
Measurement of the response of a Ga solar neutrino experiment to neutrinos from an 37Ar source
J. N. Abdurashitov, V. N. Gavrin, S. V. Girin +42
An intense source of 37Ar was produced by the (n,alpha) reaction on 40Ca by irradiating 330 kg of calcium oxide in the fast neutron breeder reactor at Zarechny, Russia. The 37Ar wa…
The BNO-LNGS joint measurement of the solar neutrino capture rate in 71Ga
J. N. Abdurashitov, T. J. Bowles, C. Cattadori +23
We describe a cooperative measurement of the capture rate of solar neutrinos by the reaction 71Ga(ν_e,e^-)71Ge. Extractions were made from a portion of the gallium target in the Ru…
The preliminary results of fast neutron flux measurements in the DULB laboratory at Baksan
J. N. Abdurashitov, V. N. Gavrin, A. V. Kalikhov +7
One of the main sources of a background in underground physics experiments (such as the investigation of solar neutrino flux, neutrino oscillations, neutrinoless double beta decay,…
